I did think "Jap" was offensive come to thinkof it. I dont think they will be offended if you like their culture. However all u gotta make sure is that you dont turn wapanese (see urban dicitionary). I did see a book in the Tsukiji book shop called "random walk", a book called "Japanamerica" which may have some refrence to this topic.

it's kinda funny to be honest... the title says "to Asians" while the content is only about Japan... i bet there are some people in this forum who don't know that Asian is not only Japanese and Korean...

No they wouldn't be offended, but if you're planning to live in Japan one day...make sure you have skills that are worth something or a talent you can exploit. Japan is a very expensive place to live in. It wouldn't hurt to be fluent in Japanese either.

Hmm im really intreasted in japaneese culture, so ive been trying to learn jap and maybe live or visit it one day.
question is: Are you offended by this?

lol im african-american by the way if that matters

Lol No offense but before you learn anything bout the Japanese language and culture go back to school and learn correct English spelling cause the Japanese language is a lot damn harder then English. English is just a hell of a lot more confusing in my opinion.
